Homeserver Installation
=======================
First, the dependencies need to be installed. Start by installing
'python2.7-dev' and the various tools of the compiler toolchain.
Synapse is written in python but some of the libraries is uses are written in
C. So before we can install synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
header files for python C extensions.
Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu::

Synapse uses NaCl (http://nacl.cr.yp.to/) for encryption and digital
signatures. Unfortunately PyNACL currently has a few issues
(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/53) and
(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/79) that mean it may not install
correctly. To fix try re-installing from PyPI or directly from (https://github.com/pyca/pynacl)::
$ # Install from PyPI
$ pip install --user --upgrade --force pynacl
$ # Install from github
$ pip install --user https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/tarball/master
On OSX, if you encounter ``clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd'``
you will need to ``export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments``.
To install the synapse homeserver run::
$ pip install --user --process-dependency-links https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
This installs synapse, along with the libraries it uses, into
``$HOME/.local/lib/``.
Homeserver Development
======================
The homeserver has a number of external dependencies, that are easiest
to install by making setup.py do so, in --user mode::
$ python setup.py develop --user
You'll need a version of setuptools new enough to know about git, so you
may need to also run::
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
If you don't have access to github, then you may need to install ``syutil``
manually by checking it out and running ``python setup.py develop --user`` on
it too.
If you get errors about ``sodium.h`` being missing, you may also need to
manually install a newer PyNaCl via pip as setuptools installs an old one. Or
you can check PyNaCl out of git directly (https://github.com/pyca/pynacl) and
installing it. Installing PyNaCl using pip may also work (remember to remove
any other versions installed by setuputils in, for example, ~/.local/lib).
On OSX, if you encounter ``clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd'``
you will need to ``export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments``.
This will run a process of downloading and installing into your
user's .local/lib directory all of the required dependencies that are
missing.
